INDIANAPOLIS—Colts owner Jim Irsay was jailed Monday on suspicion of intoxicated driving after police said he failed sobriety tests during a traffic stop and they found multiple prescription drugs inside his vehicle. Irsay was stopped late Sunday after he was spotted driving slowly near his home in suburban Carmel, coming to a stop in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal. Poli...

He appears to be drunk or high every time he opens his mouth. And he seems to always be running his mouth. I've always told the colts fans around here that this guy should never be seen or heard from if he cares any bit about his reputation.

It will be interesting to see what the NFL league office does with this situation. It does in many ways give the NFL a black eye. If they are hard on players, I am sure they will come down pretty severely on an owner.

Must NFL team owners go into "the program" if found they violated NFL drug rules? Must NFL owners meet the piss collector periodically, just like their player-employees? Must an NFL owner allegedly found to be in violation be called on the carpet in New York for a sit-down with Rogerdodger Goodell? Etc.

Unless someone knows of a prior case that was similar, this appears to be a case of first impression. It'll be interesting to learn the outcome, if any. If NFL players can be busted for drug use, shouldn't owners be busted as well? After all, fair is fair...isn't it?

Did you read the artcile? No booze, but plenty of pills. I think the Post should require a SAT type test for reading comprehension before commenting.

The article said "intoxicated" plus pills. I think "intoxicated" refers to booze. In any case it certainly doesn't refer to "no booze." Maybe you should take that pre-commenting test.

The 54-year-old Irsay, who acknowledged a painkiller dependency more than a decade ago, faces preliminary charges of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Beyond all probabilities Irsay and his dad are responsible in large measure for us having both John Elway and Peyton Manning. I have always assumed that when we needed him, they would somehow send us Andrew Luck. If Jim is forced to get "clean and sober" that seems less likely --- of course he will still be stupid.

No. Not here. The players are just running and jumping meat used to line the owners pot of gold! The players must do as their rich owners say, not as their rich owners do.
